Investigation continues into Clinton bank robbery

Police continue to search for a hooded male who robbed The Sovereign Bank, at 79 High St., Tuesday.

The call about the robber was received at the police station at 10:34 a.m.

Police Chief Mark Laverdure said a single male, claiming to have a gun, left with an undetermined amount of money. No gun was shown and no one was hurt, although the chief said people in the bank — both employees and a couple of customers — were “shaken up.” Just under $3,000 was reportedly taken.

Sovereign Bank was closed for the rest of the day Tuesday with a notice that there was an “emergency.” The bank reopened Wednesday.
